#84 Does the Pain Ever End?

#84 Does the Pain Ever End?

In this episode of the Choosing to Stay podcast, Hali and Stephanie dive into a listener's question: Does the pain ever go away after betrayal? They explore the emotional realities of betrayal trauma, what healing looks like over time, and how to approach the process of working through pain rather than avoiding it.

From personal experiences to professional insights, Hali and Stephanie share:

  • The nature of pain in the aftermath of betrayal.

  • The impact of avoidance and survival mode on healing.

  • How to honor and process pain for long-term growth.

  • The importance of finding meaning in pain and experiencing post-traumatic growth.

Whether you’re just starting your healing journey or reflecting on years past, this conversation offers empathy, validation, and hope.

Resources Mentioned:

  • The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk

  • Feelings Buried Alive Never Die by Karol K. Truman
